The dark red blade energy collided head-on with the black beam of light, and the shockwave exploded outwards.
The bluestone paving stones within a ten-zhang radius were completely blown away by the violent energy.
The turbid underground river water was forcibly swept upwards, turning into a sky full of rain and mist that crashed down.
The black light barrier emitted a piercing tearing sound as it was corroded by the bloodthirsty aura.
The beam of light lasted only half a breath before shattering into pieces.
The remaining sword energy, mixed with dark gold Demon Suppression power, mercilessly poured into the center of the ruins.
The smoke and dust cleared.
Chen Yu lay sprawled in the mud, covered in blood.
The life-saving crystal bestowed upon him by his Lineage elders blocked ninety percent of the destructive force.
The protective demonic energy had been completely shattered by the extremely Demon-Suppressing Qi.
The excruciating pain of his broken bones was intensely stimulating every nerve in his body.
This Demon Suppression Guard from Tiannan Commandery is a complete monster.
Chen Yu's jaw was chattering violently.
He suddenly bit the tip of his tongue.
The last few drops of his vital essence were all spurted out.
A dark red mist of blood instantly enveloped his entire body.
Blood Demon Hall Forbidden Technique: Blood Shadow Escape.
He squeezed his meridians to the limit, not even daring to utter a harsh word.
His entire body transformed into a blindingly distorted red light.
It hurtled straight toward the crack in the rock dome that Su Yu had previously split open.
As long as we escape this underground river and return to Qing Province City.
Even if his meridians are completely destroyed, the Duke's Residence can use rare and precious materials to bring him back to life.
This blood debt will be repaid a thousandfold in the future.
The blood-red shadow stretched across the air, leaving a trail of crimson light, and was less than five zhang away from the rift.
Below.
Su Yu stomped his right foot hard, shattering a protruding bluestone, and the lightning pattern on his ankle suddenly lit up.
Reverse Scale Flash.
The purple lightning drew two sharp right-angled lines in the murky air.
Its speed far exceeds the limits of Blood Shadow Escape.
Su Yu's body cut directly beneath the crack in the dome, blocking Chen Yu's only escape route.
The black iron armor hovered in mid-air, the hands gripping a black and gold longsword.
The full power of the Greater Accomplishment Saber Force erupted with a thunderous roar.
The surrounding air was completely sucked away by the heavy Saber Intent.
The dark red aura of bloodlust mixed with the dark golden Demon Suppression power, transforming into a solid blade of energy ten zhang long.
It slammed hard into the oncoming blood-red shadow.
boom!
The blood mist exploded on the spot.
A burst of blood erupted from Chen Yu's chest, and his mangled body, losing its support, plummeted straight down from mid-air.
It crashed heavily onto the broken white jade platform.
The hard jade brick was smashed into a hole half a foot deep.
In the dark, hidden corner at the outermost edge of the underground water fortress.
Three members of the Flying Fish Gang, dressed in blue uniforms, were crouching behind the scattered wooden crates.
He covered his mouth and nose tightly with both hands, suppressing his breathing to a minimum.
A faint, ethereal blue Yao Qi swirled around its body.
These three were not henchmen of the Flying Fish Gang at all.
Rather, they were spies of the Demon God Cult, lurking in Yu County, here to gather intelligence.
Their mission should have ended and they should have obeyed the Dharma protectors' commands after their arrival.
However, to everyone's surprise, the guardian was killed as soon as he arrived.
Not only that, this Demon Suppression Guard actually dared to touch the son of a Duke.
The one-sided crushing defeat that just happened completely overturned the understanding of these demonic individuals.
What concerned them even more was Chen Yu's identity.
The direct descendant of the Duke Chen of Qing Province, a descendant of the most powerful and influential family in the Great Qin.
He was carrying the core evil technique of the Blood Demon Hall on his back.
The Blood Demon Hall's infiltration of the imperial court far exceeded the Divine Cult's expectations.
If we can bring this important news back to the branch, it will be a great achievement.
The leader of the demons stared intently at the black-armored figure standing at the edge of the pit, biting his tongue to keep quiet.
Half-Step Mystic Realm protector of the sect, plus a young master from Mystic Realm First Level.
They were slaughtered like animals within the short span of an incense stick's time.
It must not be discovered.
Even a moment's delay would result in being chopped into mincemeat by that black knife.
The three exchanged a gesture.
Using both hands and feet, they clung to the dark drainage ditch, taking cover from the murmur of the underground river's flow.
They frantically crawled and tried to escape towards the outer ventilation openings.
Inside the pit.
Chen Yu coughed up mouthfuls of black blood mixed with fragments of internal organs.
The meridians in his limbs were all severed in the collision.
Apart from a slightly twitching neck, he had absolutely no strength left in his body.
Heavy combat boots stomped on the jade slabs.
Smack! Smack!
Iron boots crushed through the blood.
Su Yu dragged his black and gold longsword to the edge of the pit.
He leaped down, his combat boots landing heavily on Chen Yu's chest.
Click.
The few remaining ribs shattered instantly, with broken bones deeply embedded in the lung.
"Ugh."
Chen Yu was in so much pain that his whole body convulsed, and his right hand suddenly unleashed its last bit of strength.
He forcefully pulled a finely crafted steel dagger coated with deadly poison from his storage ring.
It pierced straight towards Su Yu's calf.
bite!
The tip of the dagger pierced deeply into the dark Demonic Baleful Intent Armor.
Not even a white mark was left; the dagger broke in two on the spot.
The violent recoil force surged back along the broken blade.
Chen Yu's entire right arm was violently shattered into several pieces.
Blood smeared across that once arrogant face.
"No, don't kill me!"
The once aloof young master of a noble family could only wail in the most humble of pleas.
"I have money. The Chen Family owns three fine iron ore veins, all in Qing Province."
I also have ten top-grade martial arts manuals hidden away. If you spare me, they're all yours.
Chen Yu strained to look up, staring intently at the cold, indifferent mask, trying to find a way to back down.
He only needs to delay for half an hour for the Duke's Residence's reinforcements to arrive.
Su Yu pressed his left hand against the spine of the knife, offering no response.
His five fingers suddenly tightened.
Without the slightest hesitation, the black-and-gold longsword flipped its wrist downwards.
The blade, whistling through the air, precisely sliced into the back of Chen Yu's neck.
The sturdy cervical vertebrae were as useless as rotten wood before the Blood Baleful Intent Mad Blade.
Pfft!
The dull cutting sound drowned out the flow of the underground river, and a disheveled human head tumbled out of the pit.
His eyes were wide open, staring intently.
Even in death, he couldn't believe that the Demon Suppression Guard hadn't hesitated for a moment when he had offered such an astonishing bargain.
Black blood, nearly two zhang high, gushed from the headless neck cavity, casting a crimson stain on the stone wall.
[Ding! Slayed Mystic Realm First Level evil cultivator, gained 5000 Slaughter Points!]
[Current Slaughter Points: 10000]
A transparent system light curtain popped up at the edge of the field of vision.
With over Slaughter Points, his combat power will surge once again.
Su Yu flicked the blood off the blade and then plunged the black-gold longsword into a crevice in the nearby rubble.
The entrance to the passageway was several dozen feet away.
Cao Yue and Zhang He leaned against the cold stone wall, their chests heaving violently.
Cao Yue's body stiffened slightly.
With the direct descendants of powerful families dying at the hands of local Demon Suppression Guard, the Chen Family will inevitably launch a bloody revenge.
"Send a message to Commandant Lu, telling him to send someone over as soon as possible!"
Su Yu spoke slowly.
He turned to the side, his black armor reflecting a cold, dark light in the dim firelight.
Chen Yu, as the young master of the Duke's Residence, actually cultivated the Blood Demon Art, an evil cultivation method.
Su Yu even suspected that the Duke Chen's Residence might have secretly sided with the Blood Demon Hall.
Cao Yue suddenly snapped out of her daze.
He swallowed a mouthful of dry saliva, even his nodding motion seemed mechanical.
"I have already informed the captain; he should be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Su Yu nodded calmly, then glanced around.
The iron boots trod over the messy ground and stepped out of the pit.
The main culprit is dead.
But this grand harvest is only halfway through.
He turned his head to the side and looked down into the deep, murky river below.
Hundreds of remnants of the Flying Fish Gang huddled trembling behind the massive iron fence.
Some people couldn't bear the oppressive feeling of death and threw down their weapons, kneeling on the bluestone slab and kowtowing frantically.
Some people went completely mad, raising their waist knives and charging wildly towards Su Yu while roaring.
Su Yu didn't waste any words.
Slightly bend your left leg and exert force with the sole of your foot.
He transformed into a dark streak of light and crashed into the crowd.
The Blood Baleful Intent Mad Blade unleashed a crimson curtain of blades five zhang long.
More than a dozen mutilated bodies were instantly shredded, with warm limbs and severed parts flying into the air.
And behind that iron fence lies the murky, deep water.
Large swathes of dark green bubbles were rising wildly.
The intense, stench of the demonic Yao Qi was even greater than that of the three high-level water demons combined.
The mutated water monsters, who grew up eating human flesh, could no longer restrain themselves under the strong smell of blood and began to gather on the surface of the water.
They were all just blindingly white Slaughter Points.
Su Yu's jaw tightened slightly, and his wrist twitched.
The dark golden Eight Desolations Demon-Suppressing Qi flowed into the blade without reservation, following the meridians.
The black and gold longsword emitted a high-pitched hiss.
Iron boots shattered the bluestone.
The black-armored figure, carrying a soaring murderous Sha Qi, charged without hesitation toward the surging abyss ahead.
